49ers QB Purdy addresses MVP buzz and other media narratives

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:32:09 GMT

SANTA CLARA – Brock Purdy genuinely feels “nothing’s changed” now that he’s emerged as the NFL MVP favorite. He’s right on at least two accounts.One, the 49ers (9-3) keep winning, as they take a four-game win streak into Sunday’s home game against the Seattle Seahawks (6-6).Two, Purdy is not taking the bait as some “reporters” fish for an incendiary reaction to other “reporters” who’ve made disparaging remarks about him.Thursday brought this loaded question: Do think representing the organization well right now standing at the podium wearing a backwards hat?“I guess that’s who I am, and I think so,” Purdy responded unapologetically.That “backwards hat” take originated from Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd last week, similar to a decade ago when an online columnist criticized Colin Kaepernick’s tatoos didn’t aptly represent the “CEO” qualities required to be the 49ers’ quarterback.“Some guys have told me in the locker room (about Cowherd’s take), but I don’t buy into that kind of stuff,” Pu...

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:32:09 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — Joe Flacco has gone from the couch to contention.Signed three weeks ago by Cleveland as emergency protection when quarterback Deshaun Watson was lost with a season-ending shoulder injury, Flacco has a chance to get the Browns into the playoffs — a scenario not even he could have imagined.“It’s invigorating, for sure. It’s exciting,” Flacco said. “This is what you want.”Flacco is expected to make his second start for Cleveland on Sunday as the Browns (7-5) host the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4), who are dealing with their own major issue at quarterback after Trevor Lawrence suffered a high ankle sprain against Cincinnati.Though hobbled, Lawrence managed to practice some this week, leaving open the possibility he’ll play in a game with major AFC postseason implications. If he can’t, the Jaguars will start backup C.J. Beathard, who played two series Monday night after Lawrence went out.“Whoever’s up, whoever’s rolling, we’re looking to go full spee...

Javonte Williams’ relatively quick recovery from knee injury has helped shape Broncos’ offense

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:32:09 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Joe Lombardi expected exactly the tough yards and gritty offensive identity that running back Javonte Williams has provided the Denver Broncos this season — only he envisioned it happening in 2024.The Broncos offensive coordinator arrived in Denver this spring along with new coach Sean Payton and the two of them studied the tantalizing film of Williams’ rookie year in 2021 before his second season was cut short by a complex right knee injury. Soon, they began to see that same player on the field as Williams embarked on his comeback. Still, Lombardi said he was cautioned not to get his hopes up.“They’re like, ‘Look, you can’t count on a guy who’s had this injury no matter how well he’s rehabbing, no matter how hard he’s working. History tells you that it’s a two-year injury,'” Lombardi said. “And he’s defied that.”Williams was selected as the team’s Ed Block Courage Award winner at a team meeting on Thursda...
